Chapter 045: All or Nothing
Yun Cui was very happy to see Mulan, "I just talked to your Uncle Wangcai, saying whether you would come over today." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info just finished speaking, and you are here. ”
She has a body, and she loves sweet things, her waist is thicker, and her face is a lot rounder.
Mulan was afraid that her high blood sugar would be dangerous, and once persuaded her to eat less sweet. She said that she was like this when she was pregnant with Xuewa, she loved sweet food at first, but after eating it for half a month, she changed to like sour food, and there was no problem at all, so she was relieved to buy sweets for her.
Yun Cui took the halva, rested it on the cabinet next to her, and took out a pair of shoes from the covered basket, "Come and try it, I haven't measured it, I can't make it, and I don't know if it fits." ”
Mulan didn't expect her to make shoes, she was really surprised and happy, and hurriedly took off the pair of shoes on her feet that Shanzi had worn out and repaired, and put on new shoes.
The sole is stacked with many layers, and it is sturdy. The upper made of satin, the cotton wool is thick, soft and warm. Although it was measured, the size was just right, neither big nor small.
Yun Cui looked at the shoes on Mulan's feet, nodded with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "You like to run around in men's clothes, so I made a pair of boys first." Another day, if you have to be free, make another pair of embroidered shoes for you to wear for the New Year. ”
Mulan hurriedly waved her hand, "It's enough to have this pair, you are pregnant, don't use needlework anymore." ”
"It's not a daughter, where are you so particular?" Yun Cui smiled nonchalantly, "I also have to cut clothes for others, and you don't have to worry about me when it comes to things." ”
Mulan was full of emotion, and she was ashamed of being purposefully approaching them since she had been in the past few days, and she was speechless for a while. She didn't know how to repay this pure and simple care, thinking that it would be good to share the joy, so she told the shopkeeper Han that he was going to do business with her.
After hearing this, Yun Cui first became nervous, and asked her if the shopkeeper Han was really someone, worried that she was young and ignorant of the world, and someone would deceive her. I heard her say that I went to the shop to see it, and it didn't look like a lie, so I was relieved.
I was happy for her for a while, and then advised: "When the time comes, you will come to the door in a daze, and let Uncle Wangcai accompany you on a trip." He has a lot of knowledge, his brain is also fast, he can distinguish good people, and he can also help you raise the price. ”
Mulan's eyes were a little hot, and when she said a word, she nodded, "Well, okay, I wrote it down." ”
Yun Cui is not a chattering person, so she said a few words, said "you wait", and went into the inner room, rummaged through the boxes and cabinets for a long time, took out a worn-out book with the edge of the volume, folded it back and handed it to her.
Mulan took it and took a look, it was a thread-bound book, and the words "hundred family names" were vaguely written on the cover of the original color. She was a little puzzled why Yuncui wanted to give her a book of literacy enlightenment, and reached out to flip through it, but there were a lot of pieces of paper in it, and they fell to the ground flutteringly.
She bent down to pick it up, only to find that the pieces of paper were all drawn, including clothes, jewelry, and some simply drew a gorgeously dressed and beaded beauty.
Seeing her look at her inquiringly, Yun Cui explained with a smile: "I used to be idle, so I went to my father's shop to see what clothes people were wearing and what jewelry they were wearing.
I don't know what to do with the painting, just like a baby in the book. My mother and sister wanted to take a look, but I was reluctant to give it. ”
Mulan still has some painting skills, pick it up one by one and look at it carefully, and see that the strokes are a little immature, but she outlines the details of the clothes and jewelry and the charm coefficient of the characters, and can't help but praise: "Aunt Wangcai, you are serious and good." ”
Yun Cui called her a little embarrassed, and her face, which was already good-looking, became more and more red, "I painted indiscriminately, I won't paint for a few years, and I became close to your Uncle Wangcai, and I only cared about tailoring clothes and clothes, and I forgot about it."
If you hadn't said you were going to do business with a jewelry store, I'm afraid I wouldn't remember drawing these things. Take it and see if it might be useful to you. ”
Mulan was worried that there was no reference pattern, and she couldn't ask for it. Carefully clipped the piece of paper back into the page, and thanked Yuncui again and again.
After gossiping for a while, seeing that it was almost time for the second meal, he said goodbye with Da Chun, the second donkey, and Shanzi. Fuwa and Xuewa pulled the corners of her clothes one by one, looked up at their little faces carved in pink, and called her sister softly.
Wangcai and Yuncui had never taught them to call them brother or sister, and she had only changed into women's clothes once when she came to try on the new clothes, and the two clever children remembered it and kept calling her sister.
Mulan squatted down, hugged the two of them in the crook of her arm and hugged them vigorously, "Sister will come to play with you another day, you have to be obedient." ”
Yun Cui came over to take their hands, and they reluctantly let go of Mulan.
Passing by the shop again, Mulan raised her eyes and found that the shopkeeper Han was standing at the door nodding and smiling at her, so she waved her hand and saluted in return.
Back in Lili Village, Xiu Gu had already cooked the meal. I steamed a fish, killed a chicken, stewed a whole pot of taro, burned tofu, and fried a cabbage. Add a few plates of salted fish and pickles, and a table full of them is much more decent than breakfast.
Shanzi shouted and pounced, and pulled a chicken leg to gnaw.
Xiu Gu slapped the back of his hand, "Wash your hands, look at your black paws, and you're not afraid to make Mulan laugh." ”
Since she came here, Mulan has not seen Shanzi's hands white, and she has become accustomed to it, where can she have the leisure to laugh at him? Chong Xiugu smiled, and then entered the house, took out the pattern that Yuncui gave her, and pressed it under the pillow.
Shanzi ate so much that he couldn't eat a chicken leg after gnawing on it, and he was in a hurry to show off the moving wooden dog to his friends, and ran out of the door as soon as he threw the bone.
Mulan wasn't too hungry, but after thinking about it, there was still half an afternoon and a night after this meal, and she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to survive if she didn't eat, so she forced herself to eat half a bowl of rice.
Da Chun was already hungry, so he only stuffed his head and put the rice in his mouth, and ate three bowls in one go, before burping his chopsticks.
After eating, Aunt Xiu rushed to wash the dishes and chopsticks, and even the chickens and ducks were fed early, urging Mulan to go back to the room to rest.
Mulan had something to do, so she didn't fight with her, she went back to the room and looked at the drawings Yuncui gave her, and when she was inspired, she took a pen and paper and quickly drew it.
Xiu Gu was bent on coaxing her and telling her to be Shanzi's daughter-in-law willingly, which can be described as a show of favor to her in every way. Although she was unmoved, she also had a lot of free time to concentrate on thinking and drawing carefully.
In this way, I saved a stack of patterns in a few days, and I knew what materials to use, how many materials to use, and how much money to spend to make a piece. So he took out all the money he had saved, bought beads, colored thread and yarn, and prepared to make a desperate move.
The materials on the side were all there, and the shell stones were still missing, so she said hello to Xiu Gu and carried the basket to the beach.
Xiu Gu hurriedly brought Shanzi over and pushed her to Mulan's side, "You two go together and ask Shanzi to help you." ”
Mulan nodded helplessly, waited out of the door, and looked back at Shanzi who was reluctant to follow behind, "What has happened to your mother these days?"
Shanzi is not stupid, so she naturally understands what she is referring to, and grinning, wanting to laugh but embarrassed to laugh, "I said I want to ask you to be my daughter-in-law!"
